"I provide talk therapy with attention to mind, body, social and spiritual arenas, with the goal of facilitating positive change. I am a holistic practitioner, considering physical, emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual aspects of life as legs of a table. If the quality of life slips off too often, one or more of the legs needs adjustment. Often the adjustment needed is a more mindful, flexible approach, a set of practices for moving through acute as well as cumulative life stress and for using the tensions of daily life to potentiate growth. In practice at my current location since 1990."

"You feel a lot of things and one thing is for sure, nothing feels right.

"I view therapy as an invitation to bring awareness to the here and now. For many of us, we press forward, through, and over difficult feelings when they arise in our daily lives. Often they show up as unwanted thoughts or images. They not only fill us with dread, but we will go to great lengths to avoid them. On the other hand, what if moving toward our feelings actually reduces the influence they have over us, allowing us to attend to the very things we value, thereby creating meaning and purpose in our lives."

EMDR TherapistsEMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an information processing therapy that helps clients cope with trauma, addictions, and phobias. During this treatment, the patient focuses on a specific thought, image, emotion, or sensation while simultaneously watching the therapist's finger or baton move in front of his or her eyes. The client is told to recognize what comes up for him/her when thinking of an image; then the client is told to let it go while doing bilateral stimulation.
